So, something odd just happened at the White House during the photo-op with President Obama and Pope Francis. Tweeters are reporting that CNN’s audio picked up a reporter asking the pope to, “Say something about the Negroes.” President Obama then replied with, “Thank you everybody.”

So #CNN picked-up audio in Oval Office of some jack-ass reporter asking Pope & Obama if they'd discuss "the Negroes?" Did that happen?

Did the photographer say something about "negroes" on that raw video? #PopeFrancis @msnbc

Did I hear that correctly? Did the reporter ask about “The Negroes?"

Here’s the video. Is that what she really said or is something lost in translation here?
